Darksiders is back. This time with a new studio comprised of many of the same people that worked on the previous two titles. There was a moment that many thought this game would never exist and, after all this time, there was quite a bit of expectation put on the game that would be hard for anyone to live up to. So the question remains – does the game exceed or at least meet the expectations? Let’s find out.
The last couple years have been some of the best ever for the video game industry. Because of this there has been a plethora of games released and, if you’re like most people, there are a ton of games you still hope to play. Time and money are both huge factors when it comes to what games we end up playing. To save you both we took the time to find out where you can save the most money this Black Friday and hopefully get caught up on most of the games that you have been wanting to play.
Video games have become a part of the global zeitgeist and, as a result, you could imagine my surprise when I heard that the Vancouver Canucks had banned video games from team road trips. The ban was primarily based around the ever so popular Fortnite. When asked about why video games are bad for the team, Vancouver Canucks forward and alternate captain, Bo Horvat said, “(‘Fortnite’s) definitely a no-go on the road.” He mentioned further that he thinks Fortnite is a “waste of your time” and added that teammates would be better served “hanging out with the guys.” A lot of other teams have players who are active Fortnite players (not surprising with numbers hitting 80 million in August).
Madden ’18 was a return to form for a series that was in desperate need of a fresh start. It’s easy to dismiss games that have yearly iterations as more of the same but, with ’18, not only did they make major improvements to the gameplay and overall fun factor – they added a single player story campaign for the first time with the incredibly popular Longshot mode. Madden ’19 takes everything that was good about ’18 and improves on it in almost every way and even brings back Longshot for season two, making this the best Madden game of the generation.
It’s no secret that Fortnite is the new hotness. Though the game is still in its infancy it has become a pop culture phenomenon. In time it’s not hard to see Fortnite praised in the same sentence as Star Wars and Harry Potter. Not only is it breaking down barriers in the video game world, it’s taking over everywhere you look. Though it appears this happened over night it was no accident. Fortnite is another feather in the Epic games cap that for anyone paying attention shouldn’t be surprised.
MOTHERGUNSHIP is a self-described bullet hell, rogue like, first person shooter where you craft your own guns, fight gigantic bosses and defeat an alien armada that conquered earth. What in the actual hell isn’t there to love about that!?
Red Faction Guerrilla was released nearly a decade ago and over time the game received cult like recognition. It isn’t easy to do what Volition did when they released the game in the summer of 2009. They took an established first-person shooter and completed scrapped it in favor of a third person open-world game. While we may never know how well received a Red Faction 3 would have been had it followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, we do know that Guerrilla is still kicking after all these years despite more roadblocks than you can imagine.
Gamers would tell you that E3 is even better than Christmas, unless of course you get all the games for Christmas that you were hyped about from E3. In that case Christmas could compete with E3, but for most people E3 is the Mecca of video games.
Our patience is rewarded as the title is finally revealed before the trailer fades to black…. Halo Infinite.
That’s right… three new Gears games are coming your way.
